Better yet, I wonder when Insteon Tech (IT) is going to support hardwired Ethernet. All UDI products have had Ethernet ports on them for a decade. Maybe RJ45 plugs can be added to IT devices. /sarc off/ People..Matter is a new wireless coomunications protocol, not a hardware connection plug. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

How old is your router ? I had an ASUS router AC92u? that was short of memory and it started doing really strange things around the 51 devices mark. Unknown to me, ASUS doubled the NVRAM in the later released model. I spent a few years fighting with it before buying four new ones that all had bugs in them also. All my MH protocol bulbs and strips work 99% now. However I use my own software bridge. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

...and variables can be cloned and synced together between ISYs/ polisys, and eISYs, easily with NRs triggered by variable value changes. If both devices can hear WiFi or Ethernet signals it's easy and it can be bidirectional also.

I think the local vs online is just inside the app. IIRC When the "online" bit is set in the request packet sent, the bulb doesn't respond with a confirmation, . This makes it faster for animations also. IIRC a long click on the device in some apps will get you the device settings. Some of the apps will not allow local control. I always had to use the fluxnet app to achieve no cloud connection.

Port 80 is always assumed by drivers when you do not specify, so maybe the drivers see the 80 and don't specify a port to conflict with the 8080 that they didn't know wasn't part of the IP address???

v5.5.5 installed and runs fine on my polisy AFAICT. Haven't seen any problems yet but no Zmatter or Zwave usage yet.

Flag @bmercier to see if he is aware or knows something about that. He may have a fix or at least want to know.

..and UDI likes to see, firsthand, some of the quirks that happen. It helps them improve things.

Did you try restarting the NSs in polisy? I had to do that every time in the past. My ecobee NS seems to have fixed that and heals like a trained dog now.

Add the port number to the IP address like this. 192.168.0.165:8080 I do not have a WC8 board anymore so I cannot verify this.

Put an AND pair of parentheses arround all your OR logic lines. It is in the upper edit box. If [ Time is 1:00:00AM Or Time is 2:00:00AM Or Time is 3:00:00AM Or Time is 4:00:00AM Or Time is 5:00:00AM Or Time is 6:00:00AM Or Time is 7:00:00AM Or Time is 8:00:00AM Or Time is 9:00:00AM Or Time is 10:00:00AM Or Time is 11:00:00AM Or Time is 12:00:00AM Or Time is 1:00:00PM Or Time is 2:00:00PM Or Time is 3:00:00PM Or Time is 4:00:00PM Or Time is 5:00:00PM Or Time is 6:00:00PM Or Time is 7:00:00PM Or Time is 8:00:00PM Or Time is 9:00:00PM Or Time is 10:00:00PM Or Time is 11:00:00PM Or Time is 12:00:00PM ] And $sMotionOff is 1 Then

I guess the MS devices are gone forever? What kind of lighting automation is there without ISY knowing you are home or occupying any room? Maybe Insteon has become just a remote control system, now. It sure would be nice if Insteon would get the bugs out of the MS II that was created and make it available for users.

My PLM has never died and I have moved to a polisy, buying a new USB PLM at the time so I have a spare, and another PLM spare from when the PLM dying fad was a real thing. There are enough users going to other protocols, you should be able to pick up a used PLM or a rebuilt as a backup, should your PLM actually conk out. ...or... Wait until the new Insteon PLM gets released in March? It will likely be much more reliable design than the old ones, if you have noisy power lines.

No. It's a dynamic and constantly changing list. There are more selections than PG2 and many are free and most are only a few bucks. Sent from my SM-G781W using Tapatalk

It's a secret!

It appears you used Integer variable instead of State variables. Only State variables will trigger programs to run.

How many variables?

Except for the LED strips and BR-30 bulbs, they are all Edison style bulbs, as far as I understand the style. Here is one of the many. These are both WiFi and BT interface. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0948YYG4P/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_4?smid=A3ONNTHJ5O4KNF&psc=1

I use MagicHome protocol bulbs. They require some bridging software which I run inside my polisy, or you can try the MagicHome NS. It was a take-off via another programmer into a NS. They produce good dual white light as well as RGB and typically run about $8 each without any hub required. They come in 5W, 7W and 9W bulbs as well as BR-30 style and LEDenet RGBW strips, and many dual white floor lamps.

Isn't that like MS Windows troubleshooter advising... "if your Network Card isn't functioning go to WWW.xxxxxx.calm for more help"?

We have requested UDI consider program read access to the "init to" values in variables. However, in any case, this should not be happening. For my single variable problem I just extended my variable list to a spare dummy at the end of the list. However I leave no unused variable holes in my variable list. Every variable is labelled, even if not used. My groups of variable functions stay together. Yeah it takes a lot of homework at times.

hmmmm...good point. Likely it would be a problem for dimmers. Some testing would be in order to prove that either way. By the words of the logic it should work but from other experience I think you are correct. With all disabled programs, triggered by another event, you can corral the counting to selected time slots. Possibly using a double condition for the bulbs to test whether it was previously on would work. My lights are mostly WiFi now and I use variables that determine their current setting requests so the count would be easy. AS an alternative one could use a flag for each bulb and then just count the flags on the fly. That would convert the analogue values of the bulbs to a binary function,.... Off or Not Off.

I just use the Program Summary Tab and the click on the [Run at startup] nomenclature in the top label box. That sorts them out by that clicked parameter, and the programs involved are all found at the top of the spreadsheet.

Ohhh.. I didn't know that but the lack of testability and no feedback when you attempt it had me perturbed. You just think the program is failing...and it is. After upgrading from ISY994 to polisy I now permanently comment all programs that are disabled and [Run at startup] enabled. I had requested for that flag to be on the program edit page years ago but "Cosmetics 'R Us" has been out of business for a while **SIGH**

Trouble with that is you may never discover if it is needed. I would leave it for manual discovery of the init value failure. Actually you may be able to set up a delay and then examine the running values in order to trigger an automatic value reset. Then you could examine the last run time to determine if it triggered. On second thought, send yourself a notification if it does run.
